What it does

Create forms from plain English:

Create a job application form. Ask for full name, email, and experience level
(Junior / Mid / Senior). If they select Senior, show a field asking about
their leadership experience.

Supported field types: text, email, number, textarea, dropdown (select), radio buttons, checkboxes, and date. Describe what you need in plain English — Claude picks the right type automatically.

Fill it out — conditional logic included:

Read submissions and export:

Example prompts

Create a contact form with name, email, and a message field

Create a feedback form using the dark theme, notify me at you@example.com on every submission

Every form has a light/dark toggle button built in — respondents can switch at any time, and you can set the default theme when creating the form.

Create a support ticket form — if they select Billing, show an account number field

Add a phone number field to the form above

List my forms

Show me submissions for form abc12345

Export submissions for form abc12345 as CSV

Integrations

Slack

MCP Forms formats submissions natively for Slack — just paste your Slack webhook URL and submissions appear as readable messages in any channel. No Zapier needed.

Create a contact form with name, email, and message.
Send submissions to Slack at https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/WEBHOOK/URL

What it looks like in Slack:

New submission: Contact Form
• name: Jane Smith
• email: jane@example.com
• message: Interested in your services!
_Submitted at 2026-01-15T10:32:00Z_

Google Sheets / Zapier / Make

Use a Zapier or Make webhook as the webhook_url. Both can receive the JSON payload and push rows into a Google Sheet with no code.

Payload shape:

{
  "formId": "abc12345",
  "formTitle": "Contact Form",
  "submittedAt": "2026-01-15T10:32:00Z",
  "data": {
    "name": "Jane Smith",
    "email": "jane@example.com",
    "message": "Interested in your services!"
  }
}

Self-hosting

1. Configure appsettings.json

Create api/McpForms.Api/appsettings.json (never commit this — it's in .gitignore):

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "Default": "Data Source=mcpforms.db"
  },
  "Anthropic": {
    "ApiKey": "sk-ant-..."
  },
  "BaseUrl": "http://localhost:5000",
  "McpApiKey": "your-secret-key-here",
  "ResendApiKey": "re_...",
  "ResendFromEmail": "onboarding@resend.dev",
  "Urls": "http://localhost:5000"
}

Key	Description
Anthropic.ApiKey	Your Anthropic API key — used to generate form schemas
McpApiKey	A secret you choose; the MCP server sends this on every request
ResendApiKey	From resend.com (free tier: 100 emails/day)

2. Run the API

cd api/McpForms.Api
dotnet restore
dotnet run

3. Run the MCP server

Requires uv:

cd mcp-server
uv sync

      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["--directory", "C:\\full\\path\\to\\mcp-forms\\mcp-server", "run", "server.py"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_API_BASE": "http://localhost:5000",
        "MCP_API_KEY": "your-secret-key-here"
      }
